9 1/2 AND COUNTING....

Our dear little Anna is now 9 1/2 months old. I know time flys when you're having fun right. She had her "well baby" check-up on Friday and is doing good. This was also three months since her surgery. When she was released from the hospital she weighed 9lbs. 14oz. She is now at 16lbs. 4oz. and 27 1/2 inches long. She is back on the "average" line. The best thing was....no shots.

Anna has been crawling for some time now. She also pulls up and is starting to bend over to pick things up. Every once in a while she will let go and stand on her own. She loves her cheerios and gets mad if she runs out of them. She will pound on the table and scream until you get her more. That is all part of the "sassy" attitude she is developing. She has also started using a sippy cup and does well with that. Say good bye to the bottle. Bath time is a favorite. If she isn't taking one she will crawl in the bathroom and try to climb in with whomever is. Other than playing in the dogs water bowl, she enjoys wrestling with Ian Scott. He may enjoy it more than her. She will just laugh at anything Ian does. Has also started to cry whenever he does. She just got her second and third tooth this past week. Thank goodness. She sleeps fairly well (unless teething or Shane is home) and must have Mr. Duck Duck to fall asleep. She also has a good relationship with Lexy. Just as she does with Ian, Lexy takes the mother/protector role with Anna.

She is constanly on the move and hates it when you make her lay still to do anything...change her and so forth. Taking things away from her is a sure fire way to get her going. Not much seems to bother her. Shane and I are so happy watching her and Ian grow. We thank God daily for these two little angels.
